Hi Ben,

   Further to this item, I played with proxies with the same result.

   As a (related) side issue I found that if I set proxy info then I still 
couldn't reach the peers.txt file in the Bridging section of the preferences.

   This can cause a bit of trouble. I worked around this by setting up a local 
URL to the peers.txt. AG3 is then happy to go off and retrieve the bridges. 
This could have been avoided in the software by permitting me to enter 
"vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8030" directly into the Bridge registries box.

   BTW we also have a peers1.txt which points to a more local (for us) 
"hall.vislab.uq.edu.au:8030".

   Hope that makes sense.

Cheers

Richard

When a proxy server is configured within Tools / Preferences / Network, and a 
port number is specified, after saving the configuration, this port number is 
set to zero.



Has anyone else seen this, or does anyone know why this happens?



Regards, Ben.
